This is the first time the Information Security industry has organized a competition on such a scale, providing students from FPT Education Organization with the opportunity to compete and learn from each other. The organizing committee has endeavored to create a realistic environment for both offensive and defensive tactics, allowing students to apply the knowledge they have acquired. This approach allows them to understand the roles of both an attacker testing a system and a defender protecting it. It represents a distinctive educational method at FPT University, emphasizing practical learning and experimentation,” shared Mr. Ho Hai, Head of the Information Security Department at FPT University.
Accompanying the competition are experts in the field of information security, including Network Security Specialist Ngo Minh Hieu (alias Hieu PC) and expert Philip Hung Cao.
